Does anyone have this stroller? If so, does it only fit the Graco Snugride and safeseat carseats in it? Or can u use others too? Ty

I had it, I hated it, and I sold it.

I recommend a snap n go instead. Then later on when they switch to bigger car seats, you can get a sidebyside like a Combi. This is what most of us have done.

 

We have it. I think it only fits the Graco snugride seats. We loved ours and used it up until 6 months ago when we got a side by side. We still use it occasionally if we go somewhere with narrow aisles.

 

I have a Duoglider and it works just fine for us. You can snap in the Snugrides but not sure about the Safeseats.

 

We have it and I honestly haven't really minded it yet. The front hood thing on ours tends to snap off easy- but I also don't think I get it snapped on well but other than that- I have really had no compaints with it.

I think if you type in stroller in the find section above you will find this discussed other times as well and maybe able to find more suggestions, opinions, etc.

 

i'm getting the duoglider for 3 reasons:
1. I have run into several twin moms who have it and have said it is a lifesaver, I have been told it takes a week or so to get use to folding and unfolding it but besides that they say it is wonderful.
2. I have a 2 year old so I need somewhere that I can put him in and use a carrier and/or sling for one of the babies if I am alone.
3. The cost difference between the snap and go w 2 carseats and the duoglider w the additional car seat is only about $50 and the snap in go is only good until they outgrow the the infant seats whereas the duoglider can be used for the next few years.

 

We had the DuoGlider and used it until my boys were not using the stroller anymore, at a bit over 3.

I second #1 and #3. I don't have another child

But yes, I've heard it's great from other twin moms I've met in the stores, etc...I also went to the store and the person showed me how to get the car seats in and out, and it was pretty easy. Also I strolled around the entire store with it, through the isles and around sharp corners and it handled really well. I'm sure it will be heavier with babies in it, but then again what strollers won't be?
I think it's supposed to accomodate both the safeseats and snugrides, but you can go on www.gracobaby.com and see what they say.

Good luck w/your choice!

 

I have the duoglider stroller, but I got the LXI model which is a little nicer. After seeing them in person, I thought there wasn't much comparison. I've loved mine. The snugrides fit fine, but I don't know about the safeseats. Maybe you could call Graco & ask? They are discontinuing the snugrides, so I' sure there's got to be some option with the safeseats.

I debated getting a SBS, since now they're getting bigger & the baby in the back is kicking the one in the front. But then I heard a lot of moms say in the SBS when they get older, they fight over toys. I guess it's a toss up....for me, I've already got the 1 I'm happy with and I think I'd have trouble with a SBS getting through tight aisles.

 

I agree with Kimber, as a consumer who owns both. I bought the snap n'go for the reasons of it was light and more easy to get in an out, but by 7 months, the carriers were too heavy for me to get in and out of the car. So we bought a duoglider. I like the duoglider. We usually use just umbrella strollers now for store trips or to the dr., but for trips to the zoo or for a walk, we use the duoglider. A bit bulky, but I think you get more use than the snap n' go.

 

I have one and absolutely love it. I would be completely lost with out it.

 

We have it and it's my favorite stroller. I don't know if the Safeseat fits in it since we used the Snugrides. We used the Duoglider from birth until just over 3 years old. We still have it just in case we need it for some reason. I also had some other strollers but the perks of the Duoglider (fit anywhere, good sunshades, lack of fighting babies, great storage, snack trays, etc.) made it my stroller of choice.

 

I have one and would also be lost without it!!!

 

We have it and love it. It was great when they were in the infant carriers and they just snap in, the snugrides at least. I would think any graco might work in it though. And it works great for us now without the carriers. It is a little heavy to put in/out of the van, but it is a double stroller and you have to expect that. That being said I have absolutely no trouble folding it up and putting it in/out of the van. I love that I can get through aisles easily that a side by side stroller couldn't. I do have a SBS umbrella stroller that my SIL gave us and I find it awkward to push since it is so wide. Love my duoglider.

 

We were given one used and passed it on to the grandparents for use when they have the hords.

We don't care for the handling of the stadium seating style strollers, but are using a used snap-n-go due to the convenience in the short term (we bought a Maclaren tandem as the shopping/urban stroller). We felt the DuoGlider was a bit fragile compared to other strollers we checked out. I think they've fixed some of the issues with the older ones though. With respect to handling we find the length of the stadium strollers makes it more challenging to turn when weighted and much more difficult to get up curbs which is why we went tandem and took the width penalty for the mall.

I've heard reports that the kids will fight no matter which seating arrangement is selected, so its probably a moot point. Pick what fits your budget and your needs/preferences. Sorry can't help you with the car seat issue.
